1 The table immediately below is provided for illustrative purposes only and the consumer will receive a table with their specific terms prior to the first transactions on the account. Interest Rate and Interest Charges Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for Purchases Varies by State from 17% to 23%. See your account agreement for more details How to Avoid Paying Interest On Purchases Your due date is at least 25 days after the close of each billing cycle. We will not charge you any interest on purchases if you pay your entire balance by the due date of each month. Fees Annual Fees None Penalty Fees Late Payment Returned Payment Varies by state, from (a) $0 to (b) the greater of 5% of the payment or $20. See your account agreement for more details. Varies by state, from (a) $20 to (b) the greater of $100 or twice the amount of the returned payment. See your account agreement for more details. How We Will Calculate Your Balance: We use a method called the "average daily balance." Under this method, we figure the interest charge on your account by applying the periodic rate to the average daily balance of your account. To get the average daily balance we take the beginning balance of your account each day and subtract any unpaid interest or other finance charges and any payments or credits. We do not add in any new purchase/advances/fees. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add all the daily balances for the billing cycle together and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the average daily balance. See your account agreement for more details. Billing Rights: Information on your rights to dispute transactions and how to exercise those rights is provided in your account agreement. RETAIL INSTALLMENT CREDIT AGREEMENT (RETAIL CHARGE) 1. PROMISE TO PAY: You (meaning each existing obligor who has an account with Luther, and each applicant and co-applicant for credit identified on the application which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement who is approved for credit by Luther Appliance and Furniture Sales Inc. (also referred to as us, we, our, Luther and

2 similar terms)) promise to pay to us or anyone we designate in accordance with the monthly statements we provide to you from time to time, the full amount billed for the goods ( Luther Merchandise ) you order, including all taxes and related fees and charges, according to the terms of this Retail Installment Credit Agreement (Retail Charge). By signing and accepting this agreement each applicant and co-applicant (if applicable) also hereby gives Luther Appliance and Furniture Sales Inc. permission to obtain income, and employment verification from your employer, and to obtain consumer reports (including credit reports) from consumer reporting agencies as part of our review process with your application or loan. If you ask, we will tell you whether a consumer report was ordered. If one was, we will provide you with the name and address of the consumer reporting agency that supplied it. Subsequent consumer reports may be ordered in connection with any update, renewal or extension of the credit applied for, without further notice to you. 2. CREDIT LIMIT and SUBSEQUENT PURCHASES OF LUTHER MERCHANDISE: You agree that we may establish a credit limit and that the balance of your credit purchases at one time will not exceed your credit limit. You will be advised of your initial credit limit at the time your account is opened. If you exceed your credit limit or if you are in default, we have the right to suspend or cancel your account. You agree that we may change your credit limit from time to time. We may do so based upon our evaluation of changes in your credit worthiness or otherwise at our discretion. You may make purchases from time to time, subject to your credit limit. However, if you finance the purchase of Luther Merchandise, you may not make subsequent purchases of Luther Merchandise on credit until you have repaid forty percent (40%) or more of the total outstanding balance of prior purchases that have not been repaid. Purchases may be documented by an invoice or other memorandum evidencing your purchase and your agreement to finance that purchase according to the terms of this Agreement. 3. MONTHLY STATEMENTS and MONTHLY PAYMENTS FOR LUTHER MERCHANDISE PURCHASES: After you have purchased from Luther, have an outstanding balance, and your merchandise has been delivered, a monthly statement will be sent to you. When a purchase of Luther Merchandise has been made and is financed, a monthly payment amount, Minimum Monthly Payment, will be calculated as follows: a) The amount of your new purchase will be added to any outstanding balance to determine your new outstanding balance. b) The Minimum Monthly Payment will be based upon the amount of the new outstanding balance and repayment term, taking into consideration the monthly periodic rate of interest, and is calculated to repay the outstanding balance owed in full, in substantially equal payments. The new Minimum Monthly Payment due begins with your first monthly payment due for the billing cycle in which you make a new purchase, and remains in effect until you have repaid that outstanding balance of purchases plus Finance Charges. If you do not make payments when due, you must make: (a) more payments, (b) higher final payments, or (c) both. c) Your repayment period will be determined based upon the total outstanding balance, as well as your creditworthiness, and will be disclosed at the time or your purchase. 4. FINANCE CHARGE ON LUTHER MERCHANDISE PURCHASES: If you finance the purchase of Luther Merchandise, you will pay a Finance Charge as part of your monthly payment described in Section 3 above. The Finance Charge on your account is computed the following way: (a) The Average Daily Balance Method (excluding new purchases) is used. Under this method, the interest charged on your account is determined by applying the Periodic Rate to the average daily balance of your account. To determine the average daily balance, the beginning balance of your account is taken each day and any payments or credits, as well as and any unpaid finance charges, are subtracted out. New purchases are not added in the first month. Then all daily balances for the billing cycle are added

3 together and divided by the total number days in the billing cycle. (b) the Monthly Periodic Rate is % and the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 23%. (Exception: If you are a resident of Colorado, Georgia or Tennessee at the time your account is opened, the Monthly Periodic Rate is 1.75% and the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE IS 21%. If you are a resident of Florida or Texas at the time your account is opened the Monthly Periodic Rate is 1.5% and the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 18%. If you are a resident of Arkansas at the time your account is opened the Monthly Periodic Rate is 1.41% and the ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE is 17%.) 5. NO INTEREST CHARGE: The beginning balance at the start of a monthly billing cycle is the same as the amount you owe as of the last day of the prior monthly billing cycle. You will not be charged an Interest Charge: (a) In a monthly billing cycle in which there is no previous balance (e.g. the previous balance shown on your statement is zero or a credit balance) or at the end of which there is a zero balance or a credit balance (meaning that there was no outstanding account balance at either the start or the end of the monthly billing cycle); (b) In a monthly billing cycle during which the payments and/or credits to your account (other than payments and credits attributable to amounts not included in the beginning balance for that billing cycle) are equal to or exceed the beginning balance for that billing cycle. or (c) On new purchases during the billing cycle in which the purchases are first added to your account. 6. EARLY PAYMENT INCENTIVES FOR BUYER: We offer a 25% Discount and Interest Rebate program. Under this program, we will give you a 25% credit off of the list price if you make payment in full within an early repayment period. This early repayment period will be communicated to you at the time of purchase, and may be 6 months, 9 months, or one year from delivery of the financed Luther Merchandise to you. We will also give you an additional 10% credit off of the list price if the order is paid in full in advance of delivery of the financed Luther Merchandise. We will also rebate Interest Charges for orders paid in full within the early repayment period. 7. ANNUAL FEE: There is no annual fee. 8. LATE PAYMENT FEE: You agree to pay a late payment fee of $20.00 on each monthly payment due which is not paid in full within 10 days (15 days for California residents) of the due date shown on your monthly billing statement unless applicable law limits this fee to a lesser sum in which case you agree to pay the maximum fee that may be imposed. Exception: Texas residents will not be charged a late fee. Virginia residents will not be charged more than 5% of the amount of the payment. 9. RETURNED CHECK FEE: You agree to pay a returned check fee if any check or other instrument for payment on your account is returned unpaid in the amount of $20.00, unless applicable law limits this fee to a lesser sum in which case you agree to pay the maximum fee that may be imposed. Unless prohibited by applicable law, this fee will be added to the unpaid balance under the Agreement. Exceptions: District of Columbia residents: you agree to pay a fee equal to the greater of $100 or 2 times the face amount of the returned check provided the check remains unpaid for 30 days after we mail you notice of the returned check in accordance with D.C.

SECURITY: By signing this Agreement, you hereby give us a purchase money security interest in the goods you purchase under this Agreement, which have a list price of $200 or more (the Collateral ). This is a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code and other laws and protects us if you do not repay your debt under this Agreement. This is a security interest in the Collateral and any proceeds of the Collateral, whether in the form of cash or other property taken in exchange for, or resulting from the disposal of the Collateral. You authorize us to file a financing statement naming you as a debtor which covers the Collateral. The security interest will be valid until: (a) the purchase price for the Collateral is fully paid or (b) five years have elapsed from the date of purchase, whichever happens first. 14. ALLOCATION OF PAYMENTS: We will allocate your payments to your outstanding balance (after deducting amounts owed for Interest Charges, late charges, and other permitted charges) to purchases in the order in which we post them to your account. 15.

CONSEQUENCES OF DEFAULT: If you default, we will have the right to require immediate payment of everything you owe us, after we provide you any notice of default and opportunity to cure default required by applicable law.. We also will have the right to repossess (take) any Collateral or foreclose on any security interest given as security for what you owe under this Agreement, provided payment is overdue by at least thirty (30) days and we thereafter provide you with a notice and an additional thirty (30) day period to cure the default. If we repossess the Collateral, we may sell it at a public or private sale. We will give you at least 10 days written notice before we do so. The proceeds of the sale will be applied toward what you owe. We first will subtract the costs of repossessing, storing, preparing for sale, selling the Collateral, and other allowable expenses, to the extent permitted by law. If we refer your account to an attorney for collection, unless prohibited by applicable law, you also agree to pay us our reasonable attorneys fees of up to twenty percent (20%) of the amount you owe us, provided the attorney is not our salaried employee. You agree to pay us court costs and disbursements unless prohibited by applicable law. If our sale of Collateral does not cover all that you owe, you must pay the deficiency. If there is a surplus, it will be paid to you or to any other person legally entitled to it. Notice to District of Columbia residents: 1. If we repossess the Collateral and our sale of Collateral does not cover all

5 that you owe, we waive our right to claim any deficiency between the proceeds of the sale and the amount you owe us. 2. We will not charge you any attorneys fees as a consequence of your default. For Texas residents, if you default, or we believe in good faith that you are not going to keep your promises under this Agreement, we can demand that you immediately pay all you owe. You agree that we do not have to give you notice that we intend to demand or are demanding immediate payment of all you owe. 17.
